A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes treating a surface of an insulating film formed on a substrate by supplying a first precursor including a predetermined element and a halogen group to the substrate, and forming a thin film including the predetermined element on the treated surface of the insulating film by performing a cycle a predetermined number of times. The cycle includes supplying a second precursor including the predetermined element and the halogen group to the substrate, and supplying a third precursor to the substrate.
